It feels as if we've been writing about Sonos headphones for years. They're finally now upon us and they're called the Sonos Ace.
Excellent comfort ; Strong noise-cancelling ; Enjoyable sound ; TV Audio Swap is great ; Strong wireless performance
ANC not as good as Bose ; Not as detailed or as dynamic as Sony ; Could benefit from more app integration ; More expensive than the competition
A very good attempt at a pair of headphones from the Sonos, but the Ace are beaten in several areas by more experienced rivals. The levels of comfort and the TV Audio Swap feature are excellent, though the Ace doesn’t feel like it’s the complete...

Sonos' first-ever headphones are here – not only do they sound super, they're supremely comfortable
Simply the most comfortable of over-ear headphones ; Big sound with spatial audio and app-based EQ support ; TrueCinema/TV Audio Swap is a fun personal cinema experience
TV Audio Swap not on full Sonos range or Android at launch ; The included case just isn't up to standard ; Bose a better travel headphones option
Sonos' long-awaited headphones debut fully deliver on the hype. From the immense comfort and beautiful design to the active noise-cancelling (ANC) and battery life, irrelevant of whether you're a Sonos user or not, you'll find these highly appealing...

A class-leader in some ways, but not the one that matters most
Fantastic Dolby Atmos movie sound ; Hi-res wired and wireless support ; Sonos soundbar connectivity is great
Music isn't as good equivalent competition ; Not as comfortable with glasses ; Noise cancellation weaker than Bose
The Sonos Ace are more complicated than we expected. They're my favorite headphones to date for movies, and their integration with Sonos Arc (and more soundbars to come) really pushes that forward. But they're a step behind the premium competition when...

Do the first Sonos wireless headphones live up to the hype?
Streamlined, stylish design ; Physical controls work well ; Inoffensive, balanced sound ; Okay levels of detail
Lack of clarity and expression ; Stunted dynamics and rhythmic drive ; Slightly buggy during testing ; Average call quality
Sonos might have mastered soundbars and multi-room systems, but it’s a disappointing debut in the premium wireless headphones category. The competition at this level is head and shoulders above the Ace when it comes to sound quality

Sonos's first pair of headphones may not have wild Wi-Fi features, but they sound better and look better than most of the competition.
Sleek design ; Universally appealing sound profile ; Excellent battery life ; Superb ANC & transparency mode ; TV Swap can be useful if you're in the Sonos ecosystem
Pricey, especially when compared to Bose and Sony ; TV Swap features are limited at launch ; Microphone quality is quite bad
Sonos hasn't quite aced its first attempt at a headphone, but it's one of the best first-generation products released in a long time. Sonos fans may be disappointed that it doesn't do more within the ecosystem, but reviewed on its own merits -- as a...

The Sonos Ace headphones have only been out for a few months, but they've already been discounted down to £377 on Amazon.
Expert review by : Dan Grabham (stuff.tv)
Sonos' long-awaited headphones are here. And despite their superb quality, numerous questions about the Sonos Ace' features remain.
Excellent, sound quality and detail ; Epic noise cancellation ; Beautifully designed ; Quality controls
No TrueCinema at launch ; Awkward app integration ; Rivals are well-embedded ; TV Audio Swap doesn’t yet work for all soundbars
A brilliant pair of noise-cancelling headphones with well-thought-out design. But they’re costly – and the way they don’t integrate with the app properly is bizarre.
Expert review by : Team HardwareZone (hardwarezone.com.sg)
Sonos first-ever wireless headphones are a treat, but they also have some shortcomings that might faze even the most hardcore Sonos fan. #sonos #ace #wirelessheadphone
Great build quality ; Comfortable to wear ; Excellent sound ; Good ANC and transparency mode ; Multipoint support ; Physical buttons
Doesn't fold for storage ; Large carrying case ; TV Audio Swap requires an iOS device ; TV Audio Swap only works with Arc soundbar ; Pricey
The TL;DR version: An impressive first attempt by Sonos even if it’s pricey and misses the mark in a few areas. Note: You can find the Sonos Ace on Amazon , Lazada , and Shopee .
